Awe in New Zealand by Jamie Katz
Experiencing Awe: 2-part Workshop
Awe is defined by Merriam Webster’s dictionary as “an emotion variously combining dread, veneration, and wonder that is inspired by authority or by the sacred or sublime”.
Awe can be broken down into two unique parts: perceived vastness and mental accommodation. Awe has the potential to create positive changes in the way a person experiences the world by making her feel a connection to something greater than herself.
In this workshop, we will watch awe-evoking videos and write about personal awe-inspiring experiences. Since awe is an emotion that can bond groups of people together, reflecting and sharing your experiences is highly encouraged. In the second session of this series, we will reframe our understanding of awe and learn to incorporate these powerful, emotional experiences into our everyday lives.
For anyone who attended Experiencing Awe last time, you are welcome to join us again, as Jamie will be offering new insights into awe.
Experiencing Awe Workshop will be offered in two parts:
Part 1: Tuesday, April 12th, 6:15-7:30pm ET
Part 2: Tuesday, April 19th, 6:15-7:30pm ET
Suggested Donation: $20 (series)
Participants are encouraged to attend both parts to get the most out of the workshop. Please let us know in advance if you are unable to attend both parts.
